Netgear Digital Entertainer Elite EVA9150 media streamer

Netgear's Digital Entertainer Elite EVA9150 is the most versatile example of a rare breed: set-top media players that can be used by "the rest of us." With their terminal-like interfaces that only a geek could love, most such boxes tend to appeal mainly to the file-sharing/hacking crowd, but the $602 Elite makes it painless to connect your TV to your PC or Mac, and to the Internet at large.
